The Nurotaur understood why the boy was asking him this.
'If he asks me for something else, like a very powerful weapon, perhaps the weapon will be able to kill the griffin, but he won't be able to wield it, and he'll end up dying at the griffin's hands and losing the weapon, so it's useless. But if he asks me for the griffin, he will save himself and gain great fighting power.' He couldn't help but be surprised.
He didn't expect humans to think so deeply in such a short time.
That's why he smiled. "I can promise you that," he replied.
At this point, the griffin turned to look at him sharply. "Lord?!" he shouted in shock.
But the Nurotaur simply gave him a look. "Consider it your payment for breaking the outer wall of my dwelling."
"Ah?! Lord Nurotaur, that's..."
"I don't care about your opinion, little Griffin."
"..."
The griffin was completely beside himself, not knowing how to respond.
Since when had he become a bargaining chip in some strange game?
But then again...
